Nobody grasped you by the shoulder while there was still time. Now the clay of which you were shaped has dried and hardened, and naught in you will ever awaken the sleeping musician, the poet, the astronomer that possibly inhabited you in the beginning.
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No quote has troubled me more over the years than this one from Saint-Exupery’s Mountain Light: In Search of the Dynamic Landscape, Tenth-Anniversary Edition[email protected] )
I think as far as time goes Yogi Berras infamous quote of “It’s getting late early ” keeps you more focused on the passing of time.
SO true, Steve!
Thank you for stopping by!
